1629.0. "READ/WRITE MAC disks ?" by AYOV10::ATHOMSON (C'mon, git aff! /The Kelty Clippie) Tue Aug 30 1988 14:05

    I know that I've moaned plenty of times in the past that I don't
    have a modem to upload/download all that juicy stuff on the net.
    BUT I've just discovered that we have a MAC on site so.....
    
    Does either of the following exists ?
    
    An Amiga program which will allow me to read/write Mac disks OR
    A Mac program to read/write Amiga disks ???

    there have been rumors of a program that could read Mac disks,
    but no product has shipped so far.
    
    Another way would be to find a Mac program that can write an ibmpc
    720k disk.  Then use DOS-2-DOS to read it.
    
    I did see mention of a program in the Mac notesfile that will let
    your Mac read/write Apple II 3.5" disks.  Maybe Fruit Friend will
    read that on the Amiga.
    
    have fun,

    as I recal, the mac uses variable speed...that was what all the
    discussion was on usenet a while back...So .1 seems to point in
    the right direction...
